London: George G. Harrap & Co., Ltd., 1923, 1923. FIRST EDITION OF THE AUTHOR'S ONLY BOOK. 1 vol., 12-1/4" x 9-3/4", illustrated with 48 tipped in color plates by Timlin. bound in full blue morocco, ribbed gilt decorated spine, covers ruled in gilt, marbled pastedowns and endpapers, original paper cover and cloth spine bound in the rear, by Atkinson. Internally clean and bright, hinges fine, no previous ownership markings or bookplates, A VERY GOOD COPY. William Mitchenson Timlin (1892-1943) was born in Northumberland, England and studied art in Newcastle before following his parents to South Africa, where he completed his studies in art and architecture and remained there for the rest of his life. At the same time, he worked as an artist, producing paintings, etchings, and pastels for which he is best known. In 1923 he published this work which he wrote, illustrated, and produced himself. Timlin's shop burnt to the ground and along with it many of his drawings and plates for his masterpiece. "The Ship That Sailed to Mars" is a fantastical illustrated gift book that rivalled those of Rackham, Dulac, Goble and Nielsen.

London: George G. Harrap and Company.� [1923]. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Original grey paper covered boards with gilt titles and decorations to the spine and black titles to the upper board. No dustwrapper. With 48 colour illustration plates and calligraphic text both mounted on dark grey card throughout. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the spine a little darkened and the paper cracked and frayed to a few spots on the board corners and edges. The contents, with offsetting to the endpaper and some toning and occasional chipping to the page edges (not effecting the illustration or text plates), are otherwise bright and clean throughout and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. William M. Timlin (1892 – 1943) was born in Northumberland but spent most of his life in South Africa. Timlin was a highly skilled writer and illustrator and also earned a living as an architect, and his aptitude in that field are clear to see in the…

Description:
London: George G. Harrap & Company Limited, 1923. First Edition. Quarter Vellum over Boards. Very Good/Good. A futuristic journey that was from its very conception sweetly moored in the misty past! 4to. 31 by 24 cm. 48 pp and 48 tipped-in (or mounted) color plates. The singular story and its illustrations are truly sui generis; the fabulous concoction of fantasy rendered here draws equally from both the text and illustrations. Condition: corners bumped, with paper pastedown a bit rubbed. Edgewear to lower edges. A hint of starting, front upper joint. Quarter vellum quite clean and bright. Leaves of card (the backing for the pastedowns) have a slight waviness, as typical of this book. Plates, both text and pictorial, clean. DJ has been rebacked, with most of DJ spine preserved and mounted -- see photos. Minor losses to DJ over boards. Some stains, crease lines, and other signs of wear on DJ. DJ, though, a truly rare survivor in any form, and this DJ has maintained its essential integrity.
